Radd al-Muhtar

'''Radd al-Muhtār 'ala al-Durr al-Mukhtār''' ({{langx|ar|رد المحتار على الدر المختار}}) is a book on Islamic jurisprudence (''fiqh'') by 18th century Islamic scholar, Ibn 'Abidin, whose title translates to "Guiding the Baffled to ''The Exquisite Pearl"''.

Radd al-Muhtar is a ''"hashiyah"'' (an annotative commentary) on `Ala' al-Din al-Haskafi's work of Islamic jurisprudence, ''Durr al-Mukhtār fi Sharh Tanwīr al-Absār''. It is widely considered as the central reference for fatwa in the Hanafi school of Sunni legal interpretation. Scholars of the Indian subcontinent often refer to Ibn Abidin as "al-Shami" and to this ''hashiyah'' as "al-Shamiyya" or "Fatawa Shami".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=1280&CATE=4 |title=What Does a Latecomer Do?
